Viscosity - Flow Cups Elcometer 2350 & 2354 Viscosity Flow Cups Viscosity Flow Cups are very easy to use instruments made of anodized aluminium with a stainless steel orifice, for measuring the consistency of paints, varnishes and similar products. The measured kinematic viscosity is generally expressed in seconds(s) flow time. If the Standards stipulate conversion methods the flow time can be converted into Centistokes (cst) using the Elcometer ElcoCalc Mobile App. Calibration certificates which offer traceability and assurance that each viscosity cup has been individually tested and comply to Standards are also available. STANDARDS: ISO: ISO 2431 AS/NZS: AS/NZS 1580.214.2 (cup 4), AS/NSZ 1580.214.6:1995 BS: BS 3900-A6:1971 FORD/ASTM: ASTM D 1200, D 5125 DIN: DIN 53211 (cup 4) AFNOR: NF T30-014 Technical Specification The cups can be supplied separately or with an adjustable stand which includes a precision level and an overflow glass draw plate. They can also be supplied with a flow jacket for temperature control (thermojacket), see page 5 for more information. compatible with ElcoCalc C BS Viscosity Flow Cups Range 1 Diameter (cst) Certificate K0002354M003 Elcometer 2354/3 BS Viscosity Cup 4 3.97mm 89-340 K0002354M004 Elcometer 2354/4 BS Viscosity Cup 5 4.76mm 79-441 K0002354M003C Elcometer 2354/3 with calibration certificate 3.97mm 89-340 (e) K0002354M004C Elcometer 2354/4 with calibration certificate 4.76mm 79-441 (e) DIN Viscosity Cups Diameter Range 1 (cst) Certificate K0002350M001 Elcometer 2350/1 DIN Viscosity Cup 2 2mm - K0002350M002 Elcometer 2350/2 DIN Viscosity Cup 4 4mm 96-683 K0002350M003 Elcometer 2350/3 DIN Viscosity Cup 6 6mm - K0002350M004 Elcometer 2350/4 DIN Viscosity Cup 8 8mm - K0002350M001C Elcometer 2350/1 with calibration certificate 2mm - (d) K0002350M002C Elcometer 2350/2 with calibration certificate 4mm 96-683 (e) K0002350M003C Elcometer 2350/3 with calibration certificate 6mm - (d) K0002350M004C Elcometer 2350/4 with calibration certificate 8mm - (d) 1 For Information Only (d) Dimensional Certificate (e) Efflux Time Certificate Calibration Certificate supplied as standard.

Viscosity Cups Viscosity Cup Conversion The table below lists the major flow cup types together with a conversion chart of Efflux Time (in seconds) to Viscosity in Centistokes (cst). It has been constructed from the various International Standard Calculators. compatible with ElcoCalc Each cup design is unique, care must be taken when comparing viscosity values between different cup types. These values are the absolute values and do not include the allowed tolerances, as these differ considerably between each of the Standards.

Viscosity - Standard Calibration Oils Elcometer 2410 Elcometer Viscosity Cup Standard Calibration Oils In order to check the viscosity cup s calibration or to certify it for ISO purposes, it is imperative that viscosity cup standard calibration oils are used. Standard oils have a specific drain time, dependent upon the viscosity cup type (Ford, Shell, Zahn etc.) and the orifice or cup number used. To check the viscosity cup, use the standard viscosity oils in place of the liquid and measure the drain time. Specific calibration oils can only be used with specific flow cups. Please use the table below to determine which calibration oil is required for your cup, or contact Elcometer. Viscosity oils are supplied in ½ litre (1 pint) bottles.
